I think that most people who write about music just want to fill some paper. They're not really interested in getting to the heart of something. Otherwise, they wouldn't write what they write.

Writing a song is much like being an author. Yes, we all have tools to write (everyone has a brain I hope!), but that doesn't all of a sudden make us best selling authors.

I still don't know if I can write songs. I don't think anyone ever knows if they can write songs.

— Ellie Goulding

I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process.

Writing songs is really about writing. It's not about necessarily focusing on one particular style or making it one particular thing.

I write other people songs. Recirculate it. It's the music business.

Writing music is not so much inspiration as hard work.

— George Gershwin

If I find myself just not feeling like writing songs anymore, I think I'll drop it. There's enough bad, insincere music out there. I don't need to contribute to that.
